The THEME for both PHARMEX and PHARMATRADE 2009...
It’s convocation week again!! In conjunction with the Convocation Week and Open Day of USM, the USM Pharmacy Students’ Association had once again carried out two big projects, that are, PHARMEX and PHARMATRADE...
Pharmex
A few booths set up by the committee members…
Pameran Farmasi Ekspo (PHARMEX) was held from 12 August to 16 August 2009 during the convocation week. The exhibition was located at the Tapak Pameran Konvokesyen USM, close to the Sg. Dua entrance and carried out each day from 9am to 5pm.
It’s an exhibition held to provide information to the visitors about healthcare, the correct way of using medicines, different types of herbal and traditional medicines, selected pharmaceutical technologies, and much more pharmacy-related info!
The booths were set up by the committee members the night before the exhibition. Everyone gave their best effort to ensure the booths looked attractive and inviting.
Wow! All are hard at work!
12 departments worked together to carry out this project!!
The materials exhibited can be divided into 7 categories, which are, clinical pharmacy, herbal pharmacy and traditional medicine, pharmaceutical technology, drugs education, veterinary pharmacy, public health, as well as research and development in pharmacy.
The objectives of the project was to create public awareness towards healthcare, give the latest information about medicines, show the role of pharmacists, build a good relationship between pharmacists and public, and give exposure on health products.
The visitors could have their blood pressure and body fat mass checked when they visited the clinical pharmacy booth!!
Whenever there were visitors to the booths, the students who were on duty would explain the materials to the best of their ability. Besides that, there were also some quizzes that the visitors could participate in and gain some knowledge, though the main attractant were the prizes!
The project was carried out successfully and we hope that this project will carry on so that more people will be benefit from it.
Some more nice photos of the booths…
Pharmatrade
PHARMATRADE was also held during the convocation week. It is a project that is based on selling and marketing health products. The activity started from 12 August 2009. It was located at Tapak Jualan Ekspo and is open from 9:30 am to 9:30 pm.
The products sold there include medicines, healthcare products, cosmetics, and herbal products.
The objectives of the project were to educate the pharmacy students about managing a business, improve their communication skills and increase their confidence. All this was done to ensure that pharmacy students will be all-rounders when it comes to personal development.
The students, who were on duty, were asked to wear the T-shirt specially for this activity.
Meetings were held to ensure that the activities could be carried out smoothly.
The students on duty will promote the products and explain the usage of the products to the buyers.
Come, come and buy!! Very good one!!
<< It’s really enjoyable!!!
There were many people visiting the booth at night as well!!
This is really a good project to help the pharmacy students get involved in selling health products and be able to communicate well with the customers. Thus, it is hoped that the activities will carry on in future.
